 All right, everybody, the things we do, huh? I can't believe you all are here for this. All right, I brought my own doctor. Good morning, everyone. Thank you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't say that. Got my card. We'll get that to you after. After? All right. I don't know, are you that much in a hurry to go to Crippery Creek? No, I know, yeah, I know, that's exactly right. You get to open the day with this, right? No, but it's, first of all, hello, everybody. And we'll be talking to you in just a moment. It's great to be here with the mayor and supervisor and others that are with us, city council members. But today's an important day, obviously, with the opportunity now for people my age that have been waiting, you know, this 18 million shots later. We've administered over 18 million doses. Started this process in December. And finally, we're here for people that are in my age bracket. And so it's an opportunity to remind people that they're eligible. Everybody in California, 15 over. We'll talk more about the eligibility being expanded further to everyone's 16 and over in two weeks. But it's also an opportunity to highlight the J&J vaccines that are now coming in, despite some of the headlines. They are arriving, nonetheless, here in the state all across the United States. And this is the J&J vaccine that I'll be taking. So one and done. And I'm looking forward, I have been looking forward to this for many, many months. And so it's great to be here with Dr. Galli and Opportunity as well, with Yolanda Richardson, who runs our vaccine operations for the state and will also be getting a vaccine as well. You know what you're doing? You're ready? Yes. All right. It's all me. All right. Let's just roll it up. See if I'm in shape. I know. I know. But no insecurities. Nothing to be nervous about. And I see the mayor. Mayor, we were here with Helen. It was Helen Cordoza. Getting this first vaccine, you and I watching. Markable just a few months later. Look at that. Done this before. Done it before. You can't even see where it went in. No, I love it. Yes, my staff. The governor and I got my own vaccine. Fifteen minutes. Oh, that's right. I got to wait 15 minutes. Not the 30 minutes. And we'll see you guys back in 15 minutes. Richardson, Secretary of Government Operations Agency. And that's a tough act to follow. So he did a good job. So I got to follow that up. But as the governor said, such an exciting day for all of us at the state who have been working tirelessly to make sure that eligible Californians can get vaccinated. And today we're eligible and looking forward to even more being. So very excited and want to just say a special thank you to Dr. Arlene Brown, who is going to give me a back. He's going to vaccinate me and I promise to be a good patient. Okay. All right. Not as in as good shape as that of yourself. You're very good. Thank you. One, mic check, one, two, three, mic check, one, two, three. Mic check, mic check, one, two, three. Mic check, one, two, three, mic check one, two, three, microphone check from the podium. One, two, three, mic check, one, two, three. Good morning. My name is Michael Lawson, I am the President and CEO of the Los Angeles Urban League. I want to welcome you this morning to this wonderful occasion. We're at the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall, where we, along with the California Office of Emergency Service, FEMA, the California State Fire Department, and many other organizations, not the least of which is the Brother of Crusade, which is our Comrade in Arms, when it, as far as servicing the community that we're servicing right now. I want to welcome Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Eric Garcetti, Secretary Yolanda Richardson, Council Member Marquise Harris Dawson, and Supervisor Holly Mitchell for this great occasion today. We are here to celebrate the process, the progress that we've made in this community. One of the issues that has been at the forefront of our concern was making sure that our community got vaccinated. And in order to do that, we had to have facilities in our community. Not only did we have to have facilities in our community, we had to have a say. We had to be front and center. And I am proud to say that the staff at the Los Angeles Urban League, the staff at Brother of Crusade, and volunteers from the community have stepped up and we have done tremendous work here. We are vaccinating up to 500 people a day at this, in this facility. And we are getting so many comments from the people that are coming here and saying, thank you for putting this facility in our community. Thank you for leading the charge with this. And I cannot say enough about what the support that we're getting from the, from our state government, the support that we're getting from our county supervisor, the support that we're getting from our city with respect to this and other, many other aspects of making this work. It looks like it's simple. It looks like it's easy. It is not. And I want to say a shout out to the volunteers from the Urban League who have been here from day one. We got the call, we sat down and talked about the possibility of doing this and within 36 hours it was in place. I have to give a shout out to Bonnie Jeter Thomas who has been a leader in this and to Maisha Kiff who has been working day and night trying to get, trying to make sure that everybody gets what they need. But you're not here to listen to me. There are too many very important and just essential people who have come down to see this facility. You saw the governor getting his vaccination. We are so proud of the fact that he took the time to do this here in our community because it's important that he see our community. And I can't say enough about the other electives that I mentioned and without further ado, let me introduce the next speaker, the mayor of this great city, Mayor Eric Garcetti. Thank you so much, commissioner, ambassador and angel in the city of angels, Michael Lawson. We really appreciate you. Appreciate Cherise and the Brotherhood Crusade and Alberto and Community Coalition Cookie. All the friends that are here that for so long have been doing the work to, together with this great governor who doesn't need to see the community because he's always in this community. And I wanna thank him because this community loves him and I know how much he loves this community. And I wanna thank all the hard working volunteers and staff that are here from our community groups as well as from the state. We're just doing an extraordinary job making this one of the happiest places on earth, Vaxiland we call each one of these places because you see and feel that joy that governor I hope you felt. It happens in a split second, it doesn't hurt and yet it transforms everything. It's like the cloak of protection around you. The melting away of a year of suffering and trauma and pain begins to finally go away. And I know this has been the toughest year in our history as a city, certainly, and county, as a state, a nation, arguably as a world. But as a result of this governor's leadership of the eight most populous states in America, we have the lowest deaths per capita, anywhere in America. You know, I want that to sink in because I was once told by my friend mentor, Mike Bloomberg, he said, you know, the things that people look back on and are most glad that I did were the ones that made me the least popular in the short term. That's what leadership is about. It's not about trying to get short term praise or being worried about the headlines tomorrow or the folks that are upset today. It's looking back 10 years from now and saying, what did I do to save lives and to do right? We're now looking at a moment in which things are opening up again. In fact, it's almost surreal. I went to a mall for the first time two days ago to fix my wife's iPhone because I'm tech support in the house. It was amazing to see people out eating, to see people feeling what makes this city and this state great. Provide families and businesses the relief that they need now. But thanks to the bold leadership of this governor, the tireless effort of this county who we've never worked more closely or more harmoniously together. And I wanna thank Holly Mitchell for her extraordinary leadership. A city council led by one of the great leaders on the city council in this district, Marquise Harris Dawson, who have said, we will roll up our sleeves and make sure not only we roll out this vaccine, but we roll it out equitably. Los Angeles is the only large metropolitan area in this country, I believe, in which African-American deaths, which used to be across the country, double the represented population, take away that first month and after we jumped into action, African-American deaths are less than the represented population because of the testing, the education, the surge. And now we see vaccine hesitancy coming down to because people realize this is killing us. We need to protect ourselves. And today we have a 1.4% positivity rate, the lowest we have had since April of 2020, the lowest we have had since April of 2020. So governor, you've come to the right place to get your vaccine. Here in Los Angeles, we've shown that when doses arrive, we get them into arms. Each week, more than 90% of them out the door. The city of LA in partnership with the county, our city run sites have had more than three quarters of a million doses of lifesaving vaccines. And we know that being black or Latinx, Pacific Islander, Native American, coming from a lower income zip code, living in a multi-generational household, these mean that you're more likely to get COVID-19 and unfortunately to die. So we haven't shied away from that hard truth. And we've been doing mobile clinics delivering over 50,000 doses, over 90% for residents of color. And last week, we announced a new mobile clinic partnership in Watts that will deliver 5,000 shots a day in Watts. It's that record of speed, of safety, of efficiency and equity that led us, and I'm proud to be able to co-announce with the governor today that we were able to say yes when Governor Newsom asked us to take over operations at the Cal State LA mass vaccination site in East LA. The result of this governor's advocacy in Washington, one of two of the first in the country, both in the state in Oakland and here. So we will take over those operations as a city. We couldn't be more proud or more ready to get the job done together with the county, we'll get the doses. Launched by FEMA and Cal OES as a pilot site, it will have administered 300,000 doses in just eight weeks. And now as they prepare to hand the keys over to us, we're getting ready to seize this opportunity to integrate the site into our larger citywide efforts and to get more vaccines into arms. We can do so much more. And I still continue to ask the federal government, give us those direct doses to the county and to the city, we'll get the job done. But I'm thrilled the governor is here to model what leadership looks like. I've seen that privately behind the scenes. I see it publicly alongside you and there is no more task that is urgent. You know, the years tell us things that the days cannot see. And one year into this, we can begin to feel and understand what California leadership did to not only position this state for a rebound, but to save lives of people we will never be able to count. We can only tragically count those who are lost, but there are many people in this city alive because of you, Governor. And I thank you. Briefly in Spanish, and my apologies since there's another press conference at City Hall, I'll miss your talking points, but I'll get them on the news, Governor. Hoy es un gran día para California. Empezamos un nuevo capítulo en proteger nuestro pueblo del virus. Y es un hito en la recuperación económica de nuestro estado también. Hoy gracias al gran liderazgo de este goredor, goredor Newsom, y esfuerzo encansable de él. Cada Californiano con 50 años de edad o más es elegible para recibir la vacuna COVID. Gracias, goredor. En Los Angeles sabemos cómo vacunar a nuestra comunidad. Hemos demostrado que cuando los dosis llegan a nuestra ciudad, los administramos de manera rápida, equitativa y segura. Mientras protegemos a nuestra ciudad, no dejamos a nadie atrás. Nuestras clínicas móviles han administrado a casi 50,000 vacunas en los áreas más afectados de Los Angeles. Y por lo menos en 90% se han administrado a personas de color. Este record de velocidad y seguridad tanto como de equidad y eficiencia nos preparó para aceptar la solicitud del goredor Newsom para asumir las operaciones en el sitio de vacunación de Cal State LA, en el este de Los Angeles. Sin embargo, este no es un esfuerzo individual. Contamos con nuestros socios federales y estatales para colaborar con nosotros, apoyar este sitio con más dosis y asegurar que tengamos el suministro de vacunas que necesitamos para cumplir. Hay personas que están viviendo como el resultado del Lirasco de Gobernador Newsom. Yo quiero dar las gracias de nuestra ciudad y con dado y todos podemos participar en esta visión. Vacunate ya para que podamos avanzar en nuestro esfuerzo para acabar con la pandemia y para poder reunirnos otra vez. Gracias, Gobernador Newsom. And with that, let me introduce my dear friend, a state leader who I'm sure the governor misses as the budget chair, but she's doing an amazing job as the supervisor of this great county, the one and only Holly Mitchell. When the mayor said he knows the governor misses me, I turned to look at the governor and I didn't get the sense that he really misses me, but, you know. Welcome, as I always tell you, affectionately to my hood. And I say that with great respect and affection for the Lamert Park Crenshaw community. You know, hood is an abbreviation for neighborhood and this is a neighborhood rich in history and culture and diversity. And you know I'm a native of Lamert Park, I've welcomed you here a couple of times and we've had breakfast at CJ's and bought books at Eselwan and went to Hot and Cool Cafe and now you're here at the historic Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall, which was the first contiguous shopping mall built in the country. A real visionary that the Lamert developers had many, many years ago, so I welcome you to the Baldwin Crenshaw Mall. It's a pleasure to have you here. I wanna congratulate Secretary Richardson, Secretary, like me, you got black-sinated. Black women who got vaccinated. We got black-sinated. And it's important that we talk about that because the reason why it's so valuable to have the vaccination site here for the governor and the secretary to come here is us for us to talk about communities of color who've been disproportionately impacted by this virus. This dual pandemic, this public health pandemic and this economic pandemic. And you can see it along the Crenshaw corridor. We've got small businesses who are suffering as a result of this pandemic. So we are honored that you were here and that you chose to be black-sinated here in the Crenshaw community. For me, it's times like this that government is made for and to seek collaborations and partnerships. Just yesterday, I was at another vaccination site with a Lion Guard Foundation, St. John's Family, Child and Well Center and SCIU 2015, where philanthropy, labor and an FQA seat came together to set up a clinic. Here today, FEMA, federal government, Cal OES, the state level, as well as our non-profit, our rich non-profit institutions in this community, the Urban League. I saw mothers in action here and of course Brotherhood Crusade. Organizations who have a commitment, a longstanding commitment to the people who call this community home. Organizations who when they call and say, hey, we've got a vaccine site at Sears, come on down. It speaks volumes, Governor, because the community knows that those organizations have their best interests at heart and they show up. That's why these partnerships have been so successful. That's why we've been able to increase significantly the numbers of black and Latinx community residents who've been able to get through and navigate their way through the process to be vaccinated. And that's why these community partnerships will and must continue. And I'm proud to know that they will. I've been saying to the governor and his people for the last maybe two months, hashtag where the vaccine at. And so, and to my utter dismay, it didn't catch on. But we know where the vaccine is, right here, right today, is in the Crenshaw-Ballin Hills Mall and some of it is in the arm of the governor and the secretary, and we're proud of that. It gives me great pride to welcome you all and to introduce the 40th governor of the great state of California, Governor Gavin Newsom. I do miss our former budget chair in the Senate, what a remarkable leader here, and what an extraordinary opportunity for people down here in Southern California, particularly in LA, to have our leadership as county supervisor and incredible partnerships in her ability to navigate all things Sacramento, to get the kind of support the community deserves. I also want to just thank in absentia, mayor just left, because I wanted to brag on the mayor. I'll try to integrate that into my remarks here in a moment because of his incredible partnership. And by the way, I just think it's notable in not every state can the governor lay claim to those partnerships at the local level. We are blessed to have extraordinary leaders at the county and city levels, the vast majority of them that have been hand in glove working with the state of California, not as sparring partners, but as working partners, not with a closed fist, with an open hand, humbled by this entire experience as the mayor rightfully referenced this last year, this journey that we've all been on together, now seeing that bright light, not just light, bright light at the end of the tunnel, but it's been an extraordinarily challenging year. So much fear, so much anxiety, but now growing optimism about our fate and future, not only here in Los Angeles and Southern California, but all across our state. And increasing the pace rates, increase of the last two weeks in many other states. We've seen these mutations and we are tracking seven mutations, seven variants here in the state of California, these variants having an impact on transmission in states large and small. We've had the opportunity and incredible dialogue with governors all across this country, Governor Whitmer in Michigan, battling these variants, Governor DeSantos in Florida battling these variants. We need to be mindful that now is not the time to spike the ball, now is not the time to announce mission accomplished. We have enormous opportunity in the next six to eight weeks to run the hundred yard dash, not the 90 yard dash. Let us not dream of regretting. We've come so far together and we're this close, 18 plus million vaccine doses have been administered in the state of California. Only six other nations in the world, in the world can lay claim to that many doses being administered to their population. 6.6 million more doses of vaccine have been administered in the state of California than any other state in the nation. We're also mindful and the reason we're here, that it's not just that top line number, the number that really matters is that equity commitment. It's one thing to talk about in rhetorical terms, it's another deliver on it by delivering in community, in language, in a culturally competent way, bottom up. And we in the state of California have committed to what no other state in the country had, 40% of all our doses over the course of last few weeks, 40% overlaid with an equity frame, an equity index that we're utilizing, census track, neighborhood by neighborhood, zip code by zip code, making a determination that we need to do more and do better. And by the way, I'll say that still. We need to do more and we need to do better to advance the cause of equity. It continues to be stubborn. And so indeed it is, Supervisor reason I am here and honored to be here in the community. Michael, thank you for incredible partnerships that you've established here, proving the paradigm, this can be done if we commit ourselves to it. We can actually deliver on that promotion, on that promise, but we have to build more partnership. We have to build a sense of community. And at the end of the day, trusted messengers with whole due respect, they're not in Washington, DC, and they're not in Sacramento. They're in the community. I was just sitting down that 15 minutes after getting my vaccine, talking to members of the community. And they're the real ambassadors, the people that were sitting next to me after getting their doses, is to go back in their community, go back home, talk to friends and family and say, I just got my vaccine, you should do the same thing. And so that's the power. It's the power of emulation, the power of example. And that's the power we wanna promote here today, because 18 million's not getting us to wherever that herd immunity number is. Is it 31 million, is it 32? How do you define herd immunity? 75%, 80, 85%, how do you define it? In a world where there still is resistance, where there are variations, mutations. In a world where not all our children are even eligible to receive the vaccine. So we still have more work to do. But 18 now million vaccines have been administered in the state, three and a half million under this new equity index. We now have over 31%, or just shy of 31% of the state now fully vaccinated or rather, excuse me, having received at least one dose of vaccine. We're now getting the J&J vaccine in numbers we haven't seen in the past 572,700, 500 and 72,700. We just ordered arriving next week, single dose, one as they say out there as we're waiting, one and done. We're also seeing an increase in supply across the board of Pfizer and Moderna, 2.4 million. We anticipate receiving next week, but that in perspective two weeks ago was 1.8 million, 2.4 million we anticipate receiving next week. That's why today we're allowing everybody 50 and over to have access to the vaccine. Starting today, anyone 50 and over in the state of California is eligible to receive and minister a dose of vaccine. We have two weeks where everybody's 16 and over in the state of California, regardless pre-existing conditions, ability to pay, regardless immigration status is eligible to receive their vaccine. And we're confident we could deliver on that as long as the manufactured supply still comes into the state of California. That's the one criteria, that's the one condition and that's what we're mindful always of. There's fits and starts, there's iterations, you saw that highlighted by J&J issues, some manufacturing issues that are not impacting our 572,000 order or the 215,000 that we anticipate the week later, but we're mindful of those considerations as it relates to our ability to actually deliver on what we all are promoting, not just here in the state, but as the president's been promoting that 200 million figure that he has announced as his nationwide goal. I wanna just say a couple of things about the FEMA site and I appreciate the mayor's leadership. The mayor has taken the baton without hesitation to have a seamless transition from the Cal State LA site and to now take over that effort at a local level. That includes, by the way, these mobile sites, the site that we are in today. This is currently being operated in partnership with FEMA and with Cal OES. By April 12th, we will transition the site at Cal State LA and the mobile sites like this to the city of Los Angeles. We're working with the Biden administration to talk about allocations because, as you know, the current doses do not come out of state supply, but let's put it in perspective. California is administered over 18 million doses. The two FEMA sites combined are less than 4% of our entire delivery system. So it's not profound in terms of its impact, but it is an impact nonetheless and we try to get every dose we possibly can. We're working accordingly up in Northern California at the Alameda site to transfer as well, likely not to the city of Oakland, likely to the county of Alameda and they will have a more distinctive and unique operation than the current one because of some of the logistics concerns as baseball season reopens. That's at the site of the Oakland A's and so there's some criteria and considerations that need to be addressed as it relates to logistics up there. More to be said on that later. So just honored to be here, happy to take any questions. I want to just acknowledge the incredible leadership of Dr. Galli throughout this entire process. Yolanda Richardson, who's our vaccine czar. She hates that phrase in term, forgive me, but she's been running our vaccine efforts. It was wonderful to have her here as well. She waited her turn as we did, as I did as well and I just encourage everyone 50 and over to do what I just did and I would encourage you when you're curious, what's the best vaccine to take? The best vaccine is the next one available. With that, happy to take any questions. That's the questions out of here. Hi, Governor, Colleen Shelby with the LA Times. Thanks for taking questions. I wanted to know what you would say to those who are newly eligible, but may have to wait a bit longer for their appointment just due to supply or tech or mobility limitations. And I'm also wondering if you can tell us if your wife, the first partner of California is planning to get her vaccine. Yeah, she is, as she reminded me today, she's not 50 and happy about that. So she's still waiting her turn. So she'll get it when her eligibility comes up, which I anticipate in two weeks on April 15th. But look, let's be mindful. Just because you allow the access doesn't mean everybody can rush and get a reservation can get scheduled to get the administration of the doses. And remember, our biggest constraint continues to be manufactured supply. Let me put it in perspective. That 2.4 million that we're getting next week, we administered over 2.5 million last week. So constraint, again, is manufactured supply. We've designed a system through this TPA of which now we have 81% of the population in the state of California with memorands of understanding as part of our third party agreement with the state and with our third party partner. We have the capacity to do five million doses a week. That's the system we've designed. Again, just 2.4 million coming next week. So it's gonna take a number of months for us to exhaust that demand. So even though we're lifting the eligibility, bringing down the age to 50, two weeks, everybody 16 and over, that doesn't mean April 16th. Everybody that wants a vaccine will have been vaccinated. It still will take a number of months to get to that point. Governor Mike Blood with AP. I was wondering along those lines, you mentioned a couple of months, perhaps to exhaust the demands. Do you have any more precise sense of that? And part of the reason I ask is I did a random scan of the county website today looking for appointments. I probably went to about two dozen different websites for Walgreens and other places. They're all booked for the next week, no appointments for seven days. So I'm just wondering, this big new group coming in today, more coming in in a couple of weeks, how long will that process take till everybody can actually get in? It is completely determined on the basis of manufactured supply. It's what we have available. And by the way, and it's a sophisticated question in this context, the supply is threefold. You have supply coming into the state. That's the 2.4 million. You have supply going directly to the pharmacies. And you may have seen this last week, Walmart, Costco and others now are part of the pharmacy direct allocation from the federal supply to the pharmaceutical, or rather to the pharmacies directly. And the third is the direct allocations going to community based health clinics, FQA cheese. And those supplies are increasing as well. So in total, as we see more supply be made available, hopefully we'll see some loosening towards those constraints in terms of the schedules as it relates to the number of people that are able to access and reserve time slot. That said, again, our estimates, and I see Yolanda, you're here. And I might as well take advantage. I love that you're on the road with us. You know, when we say the next couple of months, I mean, do you have any greater insight, or is it, I mean, it's just, it's a losery on the basis of what actually comes in? It's definitely. Yeah, take advantage, you mean it? As the governor said, it's definitely based on the manufacturing supply. I think all of us are anxiously following the news and watching the federal government and also watching some of the new products that might be available. But the governor does a great week every week of telling what's coming next. And as we have those doses available, we're getting those to sites such as this and sites across the state to make sure that whatever we have, those appointments are available and we'll continue to do so as the, hopefully the supply increases over the next month. To clarify that question. So those are the reasons why you can't say why it might take two months, four months, six months. There's too many pieces moving, as the governor pointed out. That's correct. But there's no indication it will take six months. Yes, yes. There's a whole other level set on that. I mean, we're looking, look, we're at 18 million. We were, we were 17 million just a few days ago. I mean, start, you start doing the math here and then you start getting to the point where there are going to be people that are just naturally resistant and there are all those people 16 and younger. Now that will change as well. And you saw obviously the authorization that is likely in a few weeks for people 12 and over, at least for one of the vaccines, Pfizer, Moderna is also in their study. And we're hoping to see that number even drop lower. They're doing studies on 11 year olds and we hope to get it down to six months and over. And that will then expand the universe of availability but in terms of the universe of those that are eligible. That said, we'll be at 20 million next week. You start getting a point even with the constraints. It shouldn't be more than a few months. I just wanted to add one point because you talked about having gone to the county website this morning to navigate what you should be confident in knowing that as supply increases, we have the infrastructure here in LA County to administer it. So we have between our hundreds of community-based partners and the mobile sites and the pop-up sites and sites like this, we have the infrastructure to make sure that once we know the supply vaccine, we have the capacity to add to those appointments and get shots in the arms. So we're not waiting to set up the infrastructure. The infrastructure exists and that I'm very proud of. Hello, I'm Anna Almondrall at Kaiser Health News. Governor Newsom, if you lived in another state, you might have been eligible for the shot months ago. What data or signs or signals are you and Dr. Gali looking for to know whether California's decision to have special eligibility tiers and to hold the general population back for as long as today will have been worth it in the end? Well, it's our commitment to equity. It's our commitment to vaccinating the most vulnerable. Remember, 75% of the people that have died from this disease and this disease continues to be deadly. Close to 150 people lost their lives, families torn apart because of the deadliness of this disease. The disease is not taking Easter weekend off. This disease is not taking spring break off. This disease remains as deadly as it's ever been. The only construct that's changed, the reason we're at 1.9% positivity and over the last week, a couple of weeks, among the lowest positivity rates in America is because of the vaccine efforts and because of the natural antibodies for those that have been exposed and the good work that many of you do every single day in terms of the non-pharmaceutical interventions by practicing what we're preaching, particularly in terms of mask wearing, which is foundational. Many other states have lifted the mask mandate and you're seeing their numbers reflect that. You're seeing numbers increase in other states in California, we've been able to hold pretty steadily for the last few weeks. Mindful that we have 854 UK variants that we have sequenced in this state. Mindful that we now have 35 Brazilian variants that we have sequenced in this state. Mindful that we have 10 South African variants we've sequenced in this state. Mindful that we have close to 9,300 West Coast variants that we have sequenced. We need to be cautious and in that respect, we prioritize the most vulnerable. We've been deliberative in terms of age-based and exposure-based. Looking at occupation, I was just in the Central Valley yesterday with the First Lady celebrating Cesar Chavez Day at 40 Acres, original headquarters of UFW, committing to the cause of equity that includes doing what many other states have not done and that's prioritizing their farm workers. This is a specific answer to your question. This is what we do. Not every state does that. And to me, that's who we are and those are values I hold dear. And so our commitment to 40% of the distribution going under a healthy place, index, quartile one frame is trust me, not something those other states are doing that we believe in. And so those are the criteria we used and today we're pleased not every state is where we are in terms of age eligibility, even at 50, but that we are here today because the good work Holly and her team have done and so many other members and partners from the Urban League and all the other CBOs, 337 strong across the state that are truly delivering the state vision is realized at the local level. And so I applaud all our local partners. Governor Margaret Carrero from KNX. Thank you for taking questions, a couple of things. The president, CDC, warning too soon for the loosening of restrictions and so on and so forth. And like you had mentioned, we're seeing the variants, we're seeing the cases go up in other states, yet we are opening up. Do you feel that this is the right move for California? That's number one. Second, are you concerned about a spring surge? And third, how does California benefit from the infrastructure plan that the president has come forth with? Don't get me started on the infrastructure plan. I couldn't be more enthusiastic. That said, let me get to the more sober part of your questions. Look, yeah, we're very mindful. We're very concerned about these mutations. I wake up every single morning, the first number I see is case rates, 2,234 today. I look at positivity, 1.9%. I look at deaths, 154. And then I immediately go to where we are in terms of the sequencing, the genomic sequencing that we're doing at a scale no other state in America is doing. And that's why I was able to point to the 800-plus now UK variants and this West Coast variant. There's two West Coast variants that we've been tracking. And we're very mindful of that. And we've been very sobered by these mutations and we all should be very mindful of the impact they're having, particularly in those two states that have this most significant number of the UK variants in that's Florida and Michigan. And so we are cautious and we are concerned. That said, we're still in this tiering frame. And so data and transmission rates are making the determination of how we move. Mindful that if we see numbers increase, the blueprint, which is now 30 weeks old, allows for us to toggle back. It's a dimmer switch, on and off, up, down. And so we have the capacity, not on whim, not on political considerations, but on the basis of serial surveillance, transmission rates, case positivity rates, broadly defined with an equity component to be able to move in whatever direction is necessary to focus and resolve to finish this entire process with a health frame first. As it relates to the infrastructure plan, it's a game changer. I didn't think I'd live to see something that my grandparents talked about. It's an extraordinary moment in American history. If they can pull this off, generations of Americans will be the beneficiaries of research and development, of increased supply chain, increased manufacturing, increased competitiveness. When you have a president of the United States talking about the care economy in the context of infrastructure and seniors, that's an enlightened leader. I didn't think I'd hear those things from a president. And so I couldn't be more proud, I was telling the first lady yesterday, for California, it completely matches our values and the progress we're making as a state. This state's running close to a $25 billion operating surplus and we're the beneficiary of an equivalent amount coming from the federal stimulus. I mean, so much of the investments that we will preview on our May revise are consistent with the investments the Biden administration has advanced as it relates to this $2.2 trillion bill. So we are very, very enthusiastic about what it means for all of us here in the state of California. Governor Alex Nieves with Politico, what effect does the 15 million ruin J&J doses and potential future delays as the FDA investigates the error have on the state as it opens up eligibility, given that the plans have been contingent on increased J&J supply. No, that's right. So before I answer that, it's also contingent on increase of Pfizer and Moderna supply, which has not been impacted. So we are anticipating an increase in supply on those two-jolt regimen, regardless of what seems to have occurred in Baltimore at the manufacturing facility. The J&J vaccine dose that I just received comes from Netherlands. It's independent of that supply. It's a direct allocation coming from FEMA. It's independent of our own state supply. Here's what we know. Here's what we've been told that our three-week window on J&J has not been impacted by this manufacturing issue in Baltimore, which means, let me be specific, that we anticipate receiving 572,700 doses next week of J&J, 215,400 doses the week later, and 215,400 doses the week after that. That's the window to which they have given us confidence to say it's secured. Beyond that, it's an open-ended question. Thank you, everybody. Thank you all very, very much.
